What's up? Were you able to find any solution to this?

[akshaynexus]

id say maybe changing the avg rate fetched to another as default should do it short term

[nmeri17]

@akshayaurora Thanks for your prompt response. I realized the ssl_priv_key and ssl_chain config vars were pointing to non-existing files. I've changed the values to my self-signed certificates but it still says it can't find them, because it's replacing the plus sign in the string with an empty space. When I try escaping the plus sign with a backward slash, it just doubles the slashes there. Any idea what to do next?

[nmeri17]

I've renamed the files to omit the plus signs, and passed in the new name. No empty space replacement occurs but it still claims to be unable to find the files there

[nmeri17]

Solved it by supplying a path python had enough permission to access.
